Lawmakers fear new two thirds approval rule for permanent changes in law attached to the spending plan could kill House proposals such as increasing high school graduation credits from 20 to 24. The budget would also cut scholarships to 250, raise video poker machine fees, fund six judges, and tighten taxes and penalties while Beasley’s 1994 pledge resurfaces in the Senate Finance Committee.
